Secretary of State Marco Rubio spent much of a meeting with China’s foreign minister discussing the summit, but did not bring up President Trump’s claims of election interference by China.
Washington — Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with China’s foreign minister on Wednesday to discuss preparations for a planned summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington. The conversation focused primarily on the logistics and agenda of the upcoming meeting.
According to sources, Rubio did not raise Trump’s previous allegations of Chinese interference in U.S. elections, which had strained relations between the two nations in the past.
The meeting comes amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and China over trade, technology, and human rights. However, both sides appear committed to maintaining high-level dialogue. The Washington summit could provide a platform to address differences and seek common ground on key issues.
